Patrice O'Neal was the greatest black comedian of the last 10 - 15 years. Eddie was great, and could be great again, he just needs to get into the clubs again, and work out new material. Delirious is still funny 30 years later. Black comics tend to rely on white characters too much sometimes, but there are still lots of strong ones around.
The thing that is killing white comedy, is that there are too many social justice warriors in it now, trying to shame folks, and make it happy. Comedy should hurt.
The guys coming up with Rogan, and guys like Big Jay Oakerson, and that crew are holding it down. No fear in those guys.
